Directions: Read the following text. Choose the best word (s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D on Answer Sheet 1. The amount of sunlight reaching Earth’s surface appears to be growing. The phenomenon, which some dub "global brightening," (1) scientists with a puzzle. If the (2) is real and global, how long will it last and what are the consequences for climate change, the planet’s water cycle, and other (3) that draw energy from sunlight (4) , the answer might seem obvious: More sunlight reaching the ground in a warming world means that temperatures will get warmer (5) . Not so fast, some researchers say. Additional warming would be certain (6) nothing else in the climate system changes. And the climate system is (7) static. Some combinations of changes could reinforce the heating; others could (8) it. Unraveling these interactions and forecasting their course require an accurate accounting of the sunlight reaching the surface and the (9) the surface sends skyward. Moreover, researchers say, measurements of the sun’s strength at Earth’s surface are potentially powerful tools for (10) human influences on the climate. Earth’s radiation "budget" (11) an "extremely important parameter that is (12) known,’ says Robert Charlson, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Washington at Seattle. "It needs to be (13) much better than it is." (14) about the amount of sunlight reaching Earth’s surface were first raised in 1974. Researchers from the United States and Israel recorded a 12% drop (15) sunlight over 40 years at a (16) station in the southern Sinai Peninsula. Since then, others have used a variety of techniques to try to track (17) sunlight. Three years ago, for example, a (18) led by Beate Liepert at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory gathered data from ground (19) around the world and found that solar radiation reaching the surface fell (20) 4% from 1961 to 1990.

某服装厂厂房为一栋六层钢筋混凝土建筑物。厂房一层是裁床车间,二层是手缝和包装车间及办公室,三至六层是成衣车间。厂房一层原有4个门,后2个门被封死,1个门上了锁,仅留1个门供员工上下班进出。厂房内唯一的上下楼梯平台上堆放了杂物,仅留0.8 m宽的通道供员工通行。半年前,在厂房一层用木板和铁栅栏分隔出了一个临时库房。由于用电负荷加大,临时库房内总电闸保险丝经常烧断。为不影响生产,电工用铜丝代替临时库房内的总电闸保险丝。经总电闸引出的电线,搭在铁栅栏上,穿出临时库房,但没有用绝缘套管,电线下堆放了2 m高的木料。2008年6月6日,该服装厂发生火灾事故。起火初期火势不大:有员工试图拧开消火栓和用灭火器灭火,但因不会操作未果。火势迅速蔓延至二、三层。当时,正在二层办公的厂长看到火灾后立即逃离现场:二至六层的401名员工在无人指挥的情况下慌乱逃生,多人跳楼逃生摔伤;一层人员全部逃出。该起火灾事故,造成67人死亡、51人受伤,直接经济损失3600万元。事故调查发现,起火原因是一层库房内电线短路产生高温熔珠,引燃堆在下面的木料;整个火灾过程中无人报警;事故前该厂曾收到当地消防机构关于该厂火险隐患的责令限期改正通知书,但未整改;厂内仅有一名电工,且无特种作业人员操作证。 根据以上场景,回答下列问题(1~3题为单选题,4~8题为多选题) 此次火灾发生初期,作为企业负责人的厂长应优先( )。
A. 保护工厂财物
B. 组织员工疏散
C. 保护员工财物
D. 查找起火原因
E. 保护工厂重要文件
某综合办公楼工程,建设单位甲通过公开招标确定本工程由乙承包商为中标单位,双方签订了工程总承包合同。由于乙承包商不具有勘察、设计能力,经建设单位甲同意,乙分别与建筑设计院丙和建筑工程公司丁签订了工程勘察设计合同和工程施工合同。勘察设计合同约定由丙对甲的办公楼及附属公共设施提供设计服务,并按勘察设计合同的约定交付有关的设计文件和资料。施工合同约定由于根据丙提供的设计图纸进行施工,工程竣工时根据国家有关验收规定及设计图纸进行质量验收。合同签订后,丙按时将设计文件和有关资料交付给丁,丁根据设计图纸进行施工。工程竣工后,甲会同有关质量监督部门对工程进行验收,发现工程存在严重质量问题,是由于设计不符合规范所致。原来丙未对现场进行仔细勘察即自行进行设计导致设计不合理,给甲带来了重大损失,并以与甲方没有合同关系为由拒绝承担责任;乙又以自己不是设计人为由推卸责任。甲遂以丙为被告向法院提起诉讼。 问题: 1.本案例中,甲与乙、乙与丙、乙与丁分别签订的合同是否有效并分别说明理由。 2.甲以丙为被告向法院提起诉讼是否妥当为什么 3.工程存在严重质量问题的责任应如何划分 4.根据我国法律法规的规定,承包单位将承包的工程转包或违法分包应承担什么法律后果
Text 3 The "MyDoom" virus could presage a generation of computer attacks by organised gangs aiming to extract ransoms from online businesses, experts said yesterday. The warning came as the website run by SCO, a company that sells Unix computer software, in effect disappeared from the web under a blizzard of automated attacks from PCs infected by the virus, which first appeared a week ago. The "MyDoom-A" version of the virus is reckoned to be the worst to have hit the internet, in terms of the speed of its spread, with millions of PCs worldwide believed to be infected. Such "zombie" machines begin to send out hundreds of copies of the virus every hour to almost any e-mail address in their files. On Sunday they began sending automated queries to SCO’s website, an attack that will continue until 12 February. The attack is the web equivalent of ringing the company’s doorbell and running away a million times a second, leaving its computers unable to deal with standard requests to view its pages. "You have to wonder about the time limit," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at the antivirus company Sophos. "Someone could go to SCO after the 12th and say, ’If you don’t want this to happen again, here are our demands’." Raimund Genes, European president of the security software firm Trend Micro, said: "Such a programme could take out any major website on the internet. It’s not terrorism, but it is somebody who is obviously upset with SCO" SCO has earned the enmity of computer users through a lawsuit it has filed against IBM. SCO claims ownership of computer code it says IBM put into the free operating system Linux, and is demanding licence fees and damages of $1bn. Mr. Cluley said: "It might be that whoever is behind this will say to SCO, ’if you don’t want the next one to target you, drop the lawsuit’." SCO has offered $250,000 (£140,000) for information leading to the arrest of the person or people who wrote and distributed MyDoom. Nell Barrett, of the security company Information Risk Management, said, "I would give a lot of credence to the idea of gangs using viruses to extort money. It’s hard for law enforcement to track them down, because they’re using machines owned by innocent people." A second variant of MyDoom will start attacking part of Microsoft’s website later today. The antivirus company MessageLabs said it had blocked more than 16 million copies of the virus in transit over the net so far. But millions more will have reached their targets. The onset of a new generation of computer attacks was marked by ______.
A. an organization of gangs
B. the infection of PCs
C. the sale of a software
D. a website’s vanishing
